Recipe: Banana Pudding Cake Cups
Ingredients:
- 1 box of Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ vanilla cake mix
- 1 box (4-serving size) banana cream instant pudding and pie filling mix
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas (approximately 2 medium bananas)
- 45 vanilla wafer cookies, crushed (about 2 cups)
- 6 cups of Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 15 vanilla wafer cookies, coarsely crushed (approximately 2/3 cup)
- 24 dried banana chips
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F if using dark or nonstick pans). Place a paper baking cup in each of the 24 regular-size muffin cups.
- In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, banana cream instant pudding mix, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping the bowl. Stir in the mashed bananas and 2 cups of crushed vanilla wafer cookies. Ensure the batter is evenly divided among the muffin cups.
- Bake the cups for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on cooling racks.
- Frost the cupcakes generously with the thawed whipped topping. Sprinkle them with 2/3 cup of coarsely crushed vanilla wafer cookies for an added crunch and finish by topping each cup with a dried banana chip.
